I never said my impact was zero, but I'm confident it's negligible, especially as regards endangered species. If everyone fished the way I do, we wouldn't need to have these conversations. Not trying to sound superior. Just pointing out that not all fishing is as destructive to the resource as mixed stock, open ocean fisheries.

For the record, I don't hate on recreational charters. I just don't think they (or ANYONE else) should be allowed to draw from accounts that might be in the red.
